Well, today we went to CHLA to get Hope fitted for a contact lens. She had fun doing the eye exam where they shined a light into her eye to determine which prescription to give her. Then it came time to put the lens in… Forget it! She screamed her head off and made it completely impossible to go near her eye, much less put a contact in. They even had to papoose her, which was agonizing to watch, but she wouldnt keep her head still or open her eyes. I was realizing the extent of her inner strength, and thought about all that she has endured in her little life… Anyway, once they determined that there was no way to get that contact in, they wrote up a prescription for glasses, and it will take about a week til we get them. Bummer!~ We were so excited for her to see today! Updates to follow…….
No Big News…yet…..

How wonderful that they’ve gotten a prescription for her, what a blessing.
I personally wear glasses over contacts now, think they’re much easier. It took Acer a while, but his protective glasses stay on now, We just made it a RULE that he wore them unless he was in bed or playing on the bad.
Take care, can’t wait to see the pictures.
